Explanation:
Manufacturing overheads refer to those costs which indirectly relate to a good's production. Examples of manufacturing overheads would include depreciation charged on equipments used for production, rent of the factory wherein production takes place.
The effect of recognition of $400 of estimated manufacturing overheads would be reduction in net income since their recognition raises the cost of production which reduces gross profit. Consequently this would reduce the net income.

c. Yes, Industry will see entry or exits
d. Rate of return of economy = 7%

= 9%
b. Company rate of profit - Rate of profit of economy

Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government.
CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC.
U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.
As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.

Answer: $910,000
Explanation:
Pension expense is calculated by the formula:
= Prior Service cost for the year+ Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on plant assets
Prior Service cost = Prior service cost / Service life of active employees
= 8,000,000 / 20
= $400,000
Expected return on plan assets = Plan assets * Interest rate
= 1,500,000 * 10%
= $150,000
Pension expense = 400,000 + 560,000 + 100,000 - 150,000
= $910,000
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given period of time. It is usually a year.
In calculating, GDP, we have expenditure approach, income approach and value-added approach.
In this question, the expenditure approach will be used to explain the answer to this question.
To calculate GDP using expenditure approach, the formula is:
C + I + G + (X-M)
where C is the consumers' spending
I is the investment spending
G is government spending
X is the exports
M is the imports.
The correct answer is C. firms purchases of inventories is part of investment spending. Firms can purchase raw materials(inventory) and process it into finished goods(inventory). The change in inventory(difference between the closing inventory and opening inventory) is part of the calculation of investment spending.
Households buying inventories(finished goods) is part of consumers' spending and not investment spending.
